The is a bug in how we’re implementing the logic to manage routes on the router instance in the l3-agent implementation.  There are other implementations of the logical router that do not need this restriction.

I don’t see any of these as a bug.  If tenant wants to make changes to their network (even ill advised ones), we should allow it.  Restricting these API operations to admin’s means we’re inhibiting users from making changes that could be regular maintenance operations of a tenant.
